Fit
B-04 RELAXED TAPERED is a relaxed fitting jean with a longer back rise, roomy thighs, and tapered legs. It has a tilted top block, which means there’s bigger than average difference between front and back rise. This allows for the jeans to sit comfortably on the hips, creating a relaxed and contemporary look and feel. The curved waistband makes sure the back rise fits nicely at the lower back, leaving no gap, while the front rise sits a bit lower than the natural waistline. The legs have a slight taper, but with a larger bottom hem opening than B-01 and B-03, resulting in an overall wider cut.

B-04 RELAXED TAPERED is the European equivalent of the ‘made in Japan’ BDD-710N (with some differences).

Fabric
Because of its light weight, the 11 oz. neppy selvedge is a perfect contender for anyone looking for a denim suitable for warmer temperatures. However, the main draw to this fabric would be it’s neppy structure. Neps are small pieces of accumulated cotton, that pop out of the surface, and give the denim its unique and irregular structure. This 100% cotton fabric is unwashed and feels stiff and crispy, which will loosen up with wear and wash. It has been woven on a shuttle loom with a wider reach, creating a wider-than-normal selvedge denim. To waste as less fabric as possible in cutting, we are only utilizing the selvedge on the front leg panels, and we’ve cut out the back leg panels from the middle of the fabric; this results in a half-selvedge, half-overlocked outseam construction. The 11 oz. neppy selvedge is woven by Collect Mills in Japan.
